Japanese-Americans Were Relocated To Internment Camps
Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the US military imposed restrictions on Japanese-Americans. They were incarcerated in internment camps, which were essentially glorified prisons. The truth was that the military had no reason to act in this manner because the civilians posed no threat. Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga discussed her encounter with one near Death Valley. “The only thing that was in the ‘apartments’ when we got there were army metal beds with the springs on it, and a potbellied stove in the middle of the room. That was the only thing. No chest of drawers, no nothing, no curtains on the windows. It was the barest of the bare,” she said. How awful. This photo of Japanese-American students was taken in 1942.
